On the 84th birth anniversary of legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, his daughter and actor Soha Ali Khan paid a visit to his grave with her daughter Inaaya and husband Kunal Kemmu. The family was seen lighting candles, praying, and leaving a heartfelt note for the late cricketer.
A Heartfelt Note from Inaaya
Soha shared a series of pictures from the special occasion on her Instagram handle. One of the pictures showed a close-up of the gravestone with a handwritten note penned by Inaaya. The note read, “Happy birthday merry christmas and happy new year i hope you are ok, anyway love you lots, and hope you had a very good life and pls enjoy your birthday lots of love, love Inaaya.” Soha captioned the pictures, “84 today (red heart and infinity emojis).” Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, fondly called Tiger, was a renowned cricketer and captain of the Indian cricket team. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 70. Soha’s tribute to her father is a testament to the love and respect she has for him. The family’s visit to his grave was a poignant moment, and Inaaya’s handwritten note was a touching gesture.
A Legacy That Lives On
Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s legacy continues to inspire and influence the world of cricket. He played in 46 Test matches for India between 1961 and 1975, and was the captain in 40 of them. He got married to veteran actor Sharmila Tagore in 1966, and they have three children together – Saif Ali Khan, Saba Ali Khan, and Soha Ali Khan. While Saif and Soha took to their mother’s profession and became actors, Saba is a jewellery designer. Soha’s visit to her father’s grave with her family was a beautiful way to remember and honor his memory.
In 2014, Soha announced her engagement with Kunal on social media, saying, “It gives me great happiness to share with you all that Kunal proposed to me in Paris with the most perfect ring in the world and I said yes.” They got married later and are parents to seven-year-old daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu.
